Two of these holes <br />were drilled along an existing road. Four holes were drilled in a pad <br />which was constructed west of the existing road as shown on Map A8-1416. <br />Construction of the drill pad included the following: <br />1.

The holes were cored with a six inch core barrel to a depth of <br />approximately 530 feet. All drill holes have been plugged full depth with <br />cement. <br />Because of poor weather following the completion of drilling and tlTe <br />lack of equipment available to perform the work, Somerset Mine was unable to <br />reclaim the drill site. The reclamation of the drill site will be completed <br />in the spring of 1983. Upon completion of reclamation, U. S. Steel Mining <br />Co. will submit a report describing the work performed. <br />Sinc re , <br />/ ~/, <br />R. E. You ston <br />General Superintendent <br />cs <br />cc: d. R. Watts <br />W. P.
